[quote:Anonymous Coward 848933:MV85NTc3ODhfMTQ5MTcwNTVfRUQxRjQ2NjI=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 857090] Anyone have any suggestions for a decent digital camera for amateur digital photography? I am not sure I will really get into photography so I'm thinking more along the lines of a good one to start with. Any suggestions on books or websites for the hobby? I am into backpacking and I wish to master plant identification. I figured digital photography would be a good hobby to go along with this. I could take pictures while backpacking and also take pictures of plants I wish to identify or have identified. [/quote] If you want to do this I would suggest a water proof point and shoot with a good macro lens. A SLR (single lens reflex) with not hold up to the abuse that back packing will create. Also look for an aspheric lens if you want a better quality print. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspheric_lens Pentex had a nice one for film but for digital I would have to search the market place.
